The awakened Eastern set has an anti-synergy with itself on the intended skill rotation

This also applies to Stormfang set, where you have to stop casting Winds to cast Judgment if you’re Zealot, or Devastation if you’re Evoker.

Maybe Winds should have a special property where you can cast other skills while using it, but dunno if it can be done in the current engine.

It’s not as bad there cause there’s no cooldown refresh for Judgment on the set (nor is it that useful since most of it is DoT) and Devastation can only go off once per 5 s.

But yeah, something to let WoA keep its “momentum” for a little bit like Tarille suggested would be nice, so brief interruptions don’t shrink your tornado back down to baby size.

It has for Devastation, 10% on attack reduce its CD by one second.

Yeah but only one Devastation can be active at a time with a 5 s uptime. And from my GT doodling you’re working with a 10 s CD Devastation (before % CDR) so you’ll have to channel for a bit to get the reset in time, so the shrinkage isn’t as frequent as on other builds.

But it’s true this isn’t Eastern Oath exclusive. Blood Knight Veilwalker will have this issue. Hell, Nightbringer Primalist will have that issue because of Devouring Swarm alone. Any RR source that needs frequent reapplication screws you over unless facetanking.

Wonder if it’s time to remove that from Devastation, but that’s another discussion.
